South Korea Positive Displacement Pumps Market

South Korea Positive Displacement Pumps Market Overview:

The South Korea positive displacement pumps market size reached USD 286.90 Million in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 390.46 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.13% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by industrial automation, increased demand from chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, and rising investment in wastewater management. Growing adoption in energy-efficient systems and precise fluid handling also supports expansion in the South Korea positive displacement pumps market share.

South Korea Positive Displacement Pumps Market Trends:

Increased Adoption in Water and Wastewater Treatment


One prominent trend in the South Korea positive displacement pumps market is the growing adoption of these pumps in water and wastewater treatment facilities. With stricter environmental regulations and rising urbanization, municipalities and industries are investing in reliable pumping technologies for accurate dosing and sludge handling. Positive displacement pumps, known for their ability to handle viscous and abrasive fluids with consistent flow, are particularly suitable for such operations. Their energy efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements further enhance their appeal for long-term infrastructure projects. Government-led initiatives to modernize wastewater systems have also led to higher procurement of these pumps across public utilities. This shift is a significant contributor to South Korea Positive Displacement Pumps market growth, particularly in the utilities and municipal sectors. For instance, in March 2024, AERZEN opened a new 5,614 m² turbo manufacturing plant in Cheongju, South Korea, enhancing production for sectors like water treatment and food processing. The facility features advanced tech, expanded capacity, green operations, and new turbo blower models offering 10% better energy efficiency.

Integration of Smart Pumping Technologies


Digital transformation in industrial equipment has led to the integration of smart technologies in positive displacement pumps, a growing trend in the South Korea positive displacement pumps market. Manufacturers are embedding IoT sensors, remote monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance features into pump solutions. These smart pumps can monitor flow rate, pressure, and temperature in real time, enabling early fault detection and minimizing downtime. This is especially valuable in sectors like oil and gas, food and beverage, and specialty chemicals, where system reliability and uptime are crucial. As South Korea moves toward Industry 4.0 standards, the adoption of intelligent pumping systems is becoming widespread, driving innovation and supporting overall South Korea positive displacement pumps market growth. For instance, in August 2024, SEEPEX, part of the Ingersoll Rand Group, enhanced its pump technology business by integrating Copia’s Industrial DevOps platform. Facing challenges in PLC code management across multiple vendors, SEEPEX partnered with Copia to centralize development, boost collaboration, and increase efficiency. This shift helped them triple unit sales, reduce code duplication, and streamline workflows.
